The Chair of St Basil’s NSW/ACT, James Jordan, has announced Diana Horvatovic, previously Acting CEO, has been appointed CEO after a lengthy recruitment process.
Diana joined St Basil’s NSW/ACT in 2021 in the role of Project Director - Quality, bringing more than 17 years of aged care industry experience with her.
Diana spent nearly 12 years in government roles, including at the Department of Health and Ageing (now the Department of Health and Aged Care) and the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency (now the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission), as well as senior roles with HammondCare and RSL LifeCare.
“The aged care industry is continuously changing and with Mrs Horvatovic’s deep understanding of consumer needs and expectations, the Board is confident that she will continue to drive the St Basil’s team on its current trajectory to fulfil its mission of delivering quality services to support individual needs of ageing Australians including Greek Australians," James said.
“Mrs Horvatovic is a key driver of our Continuous Improvement Plans across our clinical and non-clinical environments. The delivery of best-practice aged care services to our residents is her passion. Her hands-on approach, empathetic nature and practical guidance brings a wealth of support to the St Basil’s workforce.”
Diana replaced former CEO Peter Kaliaropoulos, who stepped down from the role and as a Board Director effective from 11 August 2023.
